2007 Quevedo Vintage Port

Post by Al B. »

Deep red, very youthful and nosing of subdued blackcurrants. Dry entry, with lots of blackcurrant fruit and some big firm but gentle tannins behind the fruit. Quite a dry port but not at the expense of the levels of fruit. Nice dry aftertaste and a finish of decent length. One to buy and hold, an impressive port. 88/100. Snapshot tasting on 11 Feb 2010 on a pop 'n' pour basis.

To bad you didn't get to spend time with this one. It shows better after an extended decanting of a day or so.

I agree, when I had the chance to spend some more time with it, I rated this in the low 90s.

But there was only a half bottle and there were 8 of us...

1/2 bottle for 8 people won't even wet the whistle :lol:

Glad to see your other score was a bit higher.

I've now had three bottles of this Port. I was less enthused with a snapshot pop n pour and scored it 87. Two subsequent bottles tasted over 3-4 days and I was at 93 and 94 points. It picked up considerable the longer it was open.
